Archives and distributes Antarctic glaciological and cryospheric data collected by the U.S. Antarctic Program.
Archives and distributes cryospheric and related environmental data from NASA satellite, airborne, and field campaigns.
Provides data management of local observations and Indigenous knowledge.
Archives and distributes cryospheric in situ and operational data.

Data from NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites and other satellite and field measurement programs
The data management arm of NSIDC greatly benefits from in-house scientific expertise
Research provides visibility to data management activities and NSIDC as a whole
Researchers benefit by being close to the data

Data Management
3 Existing data sets1 New data set
NASA DAAC produces passive microwave sea ice data time series
NOAA @ NSIDC produces Sea Ice Index, using DAAC sea ice data as input
Arctic Sea Ice News & Analysis, funded by NASA, supports scientific analysis and blog based off Sea Ice Index
